Calligraphy belongs to the category of fine arts, which is generally included in fine arts, and is also tested separately. Some schools recruit and some don't, but they are all included in the art college. Calligraphy art students generally recruit brush calligraphy, as if they don't recruit hard pen calligraphy. The contents of the examination include calligraphy, seal cutting and ancient prose. For calligraphy, the most important things are regular script, seal script and running script. Official script is very changeable. For regular script, it is best for Ou Yangxun and Chu Suiliang to cooperate, such as inscriptions such as Jiucheng Palace Monument, Preface to the Holy Teaching of Yanta and Ni Kuanzan. Seal script is generally based on Qing seal script, such as the artistic style of Deng and Wu Xiangzhi. As a basic requirement, stone carvings in Yishan, Qin Zhuan, such as Li Si, will also be investigated, depending on the examiner. The running script is mainly in the style of "two kings", which is basically two posts: Preface to Lanting and Preface to Saint Education. It is generally no problem for candidates to master these two positions. Therefore, we must have a certain ability to face or face. For seal cutting, generally speaking, it is an investigation of Bai and Zhu. Bai is generally Kao Han Man, and Zhu Wen is generally round Zhu Wen or similar to the style of Xiling Eight Schools. For the vernacular of Han and Manchu, we should pay attention to its rich and simple carving style, and the lines of Zhu should pay attention to its rhythm and richness, not thin and flashy. The carving of seal cutting should be in-depth within a limited time. Calligraphy papers are generally semi-cooked four-foot rice paper, with a common size of four feet vertically, and the text content is generally two or three crosses of Tang poetry and Song poetry. The goal of calligraphy inspection is mainly to use pen and structure. Using a pen requires thick and concise strokes, and the center should pay attention to the rhythm of writing and try to avoid the appearance of writing habits. Structurally speaking, the basic requirements are symmetrical structure, neat composition and strong sense of integrity. Stone materials are distributed uniformly for the seal cutting examination, and tools such as carving knives and inkpad are provided by candidates. Seal cutting inspection time is often very short, so we should pay attention to adjustment. Generally speaking, the test is mainly about creation, and it is necessary to master the technology of lettering on seals.
Art candidates are not allowed to change their major to ordinary after entering school, and the graduation destination of calligraphy candidates is very unclear, so it is difficult to find a job.
As for which schools want to recruit calligraphy candidates, I suggest you find a brochure for your province's enrollment this year. This booklet hasn't come out yet, but after it comes out, every candidate will have one. You can contact your senior three classmates and ask them to give it to you after using it. There is very detailed information about that one. You can add it to that and find out which schools want to recruit calligraphy candidates.
